- Title
- Pardons and Paroles; time frame for parole court extended
- Description
Under existing law, if there is reasonable cause to believe a parolee has violated his or her parole, the Board of Pardons and Paroles is required to hold a parole court, in person or by electronic means, within 20 business days of the request. If a parole court is not held within 20 business days, the parolee shall be released from custody.
This bill would provide that a parolee may be held up to 40 business days for the board to conduct a parole court if a proclaimed state of emergency prevents a parole court from occurring within 20 business days.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
